Hahaha. We killed her enthusiasm for the game. Way to go Ice Titans! This is why Federation Force got such low scores and hatred.
Yeah, I just finally beat it today. But it took a bloody long time. Probably 4 hours. I tried for an hour here and there and set it aside after getting frustrated but finally finished it now. I don't know how many times I died while trying to cage my last Titan. The worst was in the first hour I was playing this, I don't know what skill level I was tapping into but I actually caged 4 titans in 2 cages and still had three minutes. I wondered if I should leave but thought I'd get one more since I had the time. Got the fifth titan in a cage and threw out a Samus decoy to occupy it. Left the cage as the door was closing behind. Was turning to keep my eye on the titan and got hit by its purple ground pound blast as I did that. Lost the mission. I was upset and kicking myself at being that close to wrapping it up. I wondered if I should have bailed on 4 and seen if that would have done it yet I didn't want to find out I was low while having had the time to get one more.
Anyways, couldn't catch titans as good as that the more I played so I started going for one at a time in cages and even then I kept going down while trying to corral that last one. It's so hard trying to manage the doors and watch out on the titans actions. Yet, in the end, when I finally succeeded, I did still capture 5. Go figure. It's true that you get 10000 for not using Lone Wolf and then you get 10000 for the time. It's pretty easy to get 2000 points from enemies and other score triggers. I was pretty much getting that just from taking out the opening animal enemies and then the gunship with pirates.
I just find it odd that my file shows only a 94% completion rate despite getting all medals and paint jobs unlocked now. I wondered if it had to do with the mods and I know there is at least 5 unique mods I didn't have in my possession yet. So, I decided to try and farm mods briefly at the H12 mission. Did three runs and on my third run, I finally got the split warhead mod for myself so that's something. Left to check my percentage and it was still at 94%. Finally just looked it up online and it turns out I need to do more Blast Ball to get the 100%. Not sure if I'm going to bother yet or not but I'm thinking I might give it a couple tries to see what happens. In any case, I'm ready to wrap things up on Fed Force. Missions are all complete and that's the main thing I wanted to get done with a group and play.
